Who: We are recruiting teens ages 14-17 with a range of marijuana use—from none to a lot. To be eligible, teens must have a parent or guardian willing to participate (we do not share substance use information with parents), and must not have braces, permanent retainer, or implanted metal.
About: The goal of this study is to understand behavior and brain activity related to how teens make decisions and respond to rewards because we want to understand how decision-making may differ based on teens’ amount of marijuana use.
Time involved: Participants will fill out questionnaires, play special computer games, & complete an MRI brain scan. The study requires 6 hours in 2-3 visits. Participants will receive a brief mental health assessment at no cost and will be compensated for their time.
